Trump: The Divider In Chief

As tensions escalated with North Korea and Venezuela, violence broke out in Charlottesville, Virginia, led by hundreds of white nationalists protesting the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, a Confederate army general. The Virginia governor declared at state of emergency. The former imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, was among the protestors. “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump,” Duke told reporters Saturday, to “take our country back.” President Trump, who failed to denounce David Duke and the KKK during his campaign, tweeted a response on Saturday that failed to specifically mention the KKK. “We ALL must be united condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America! Let’s all come together as one!”
